My missus has recently got an 06 Yaris with the 1.3 vvt engine, 19,000
miles. The engine has a noisy rattle from the drive end when cold. I'm

(i.e B model). I didnt need the keys matching, just a new set.

wife's car the other day when I noticed that new tyres she'd had fitted
when it was serviced a few months ago are V rated not W, which seems to

or 5th gear, occassionally I will start to lose speed and can't seem
to be able to accelerate or hold a certain speed, no matter how much I
press down on the accelerator. Since my car is slowing down no matter

I've got a 95 1.8 astra sport with the eco tec engine. Having only recently
bought the car i can only go on what i've been told about its past. The car
had recently undergone some engine work as the belt snapped and did the

My colleague at work has a Vauxhall Zafira with a factory fitted alarm. The
alarm goes off at random whilst parked at work or home for no apparent
